PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Policy Statement is to provide an outline of the
City Council policy development process^ "fo establish a procedure
for periodic review and evaluation of progress toward implementing
City goals and objectives; and to establish a date for the annual
review and updating of goals and objectives.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council has established a policy development process to
enhance the Council's ability to clearly determine and define goals
and objectives to guide the allocation of City resources to meet the
needs of the community. This process is designed to provide for an
orderly process of policy development that will provide an opportunity
for meaningful public impact. The goals and objectives established
through this process will provide guidance for the City staff when
developing budgets and action programs. Through this process, the
City Council will be better able to carry out its policy making
responsibility and the City staff will better be able to respond to
the policy direction of the Council.
Although the City General Plan establishes policy guidance and direction
in land use and related matters and certain master plans provide guidance
in other areas, this policy development process is designed to address
a wider scope of policy issues on a short term basis.to provide clear
direction in allocating City resources. (f(
The process is intended to be informal in nature in order to maximize
the potential for community input. The process must, however, be
adequately structured to help insure that a useful and timely product
'will be produced.
